"T-the Loera main family's... only son?" Iris timidly asked.
"Yes, nice to meet you, big sis Iris!"
"Bi... big sis... Iris? ...Nice to meet you, Eine...," Iris answered with a hint of delight. Perhaps it was because she was the youngest child, so she was taken aback when Ein called her like that. Welp, I can understand that!
...Or not really, because I had the experience of being an older sister back then...
"Hm, what's with this small one?" Carbuncle reacted as well, before she muttered, "but for some reason, I felt like little sheep seemed smaller than him... perhaps it was due to their different demeanor?"
Meanwhile, Ein stared at Carbuncle.
"...what's with the stare?"
"...Nothing. I just thought that big sis 'Buncle feels different than the others!"
"'Buncle? Wait, that's weird. Call me something else, kid!"
...Speak about weird nickname. You were the starter, you know? With how you called me Lyr and Alt-nii as Tair...
"Hmm... how should I call you?" Ein asked back.
"Call me the Great Carbuncle!"
"...Nope."
"..."
"Big sis Buncle sounds good... or big sis Uncle?"
".............Crbnklr Azcc-Tnerre Tkmkzch is my name. Look, this is a test. You have to come up with a good nickname!"
"Crbnklr... I can only hear that it's similar to how we pronounce Carbuncle... Carb... no... Bncl... Buncle... nope... This is a test... hmm... okay, big sis Kuu, then!"
Kuu? Well, a part of Carbuncle's name had this "ku" sound when she mentioned it...
"...Well, that's better. Fine, you pass!"
...Suddenly, it became a nickname bestowing ceremony.
But this incident helped us to come up with a shortened version of Carbuncle's name as we sometimes felt it was too long to call her name.
"Kuu sounds cute! Why didn't I think of giving Carbuncle another nickname?!" Iris suddenly clapped her hands as if she just came up with something.
"Then, can we follow him and call you Kuu sometimes?" I asked.
"Eh? Well, I don't mind...," Carbuncle gave her consent, perhaps she took a liking at the nickname Ein suddenly invented for her.
"So, why are you following Lyra, Ein?" Alt-nii moved the topic of conversation back to Ein. Speaking of which, Alt-nii didn't bring along Rurune during events like this, after Mom convinced him not to... worried that Rurune might cause troubles.
Because Rurune seemed to get along well with Phyllo, Phyllo was asked to keep her company.
"That... because I want to be her apprentice!" Ein proudly answered.
"...Apprentice?"
In response to Ein's answer, everyone's faces seemed to develop an imaginary question mark.
"Yes, I want to know her tricks to be talented!"
"I'm not talented!" I quickly denied.
"...Sure...," Iris gloomily responded.
"A-at any rate, there's Luca here as the more talented crown prince, why not ask him to take you as his apprentice?" I quickly shifted the topic of the conversation.
